What kind of optometrist am I?

I believe in giving all my patients the time it takes during their appointments with me to address all their questions.

I don’t believe in selling in the exam room. By removing all potential financial conflicts of interest, I can objectively focus on my patients' best interests. I don't sell glasses, I don't sell supplements, and I offer all required additional testing such as retinal imaging at no extra charge.

I believe in education. Bring on your questions and I’ll break down the concepts behind them to build up your understanding of even the most complicated eye/optics related subjects.

How will we communicate?

Probably in English, but if you want to practice your French I can do that too.

Maybe you’re Deaf?

No problem, I can get by in American Sign Language.
